Using Candles In Fall Decor

When the candle lighting ceremony begins that is when I know I am now officially in the mood for Fall. It is a funny occurrence that usually starts around the time of football season. All of the sudden I start putting candles on the mantle,humming along and lighting them at nightfall. You see Fall is more of an internal occurrence for me than just a seasonal change. My mood starts wanting a cozier, warmer feel to my home. So, out come the candles!!!

Candles are an inexpensive way to add to your decor for the fall. They bring a touch of warmth not only in the ambiance of a room , but if scented, can set the stage for cozy and welcoming space. I like to find different and unusual ways to use candles. I am sure you have seen most of these, but since it is the beginning of the season, I thought it would be a good reminder and inspiration for all of us. I hope you see something new and inspiring………

These time and season differences are amazing. Here I am first again because as you finish I am just starting! As you look forward to Fall we are desperate for Spring which is now just around the corner.

I could swear it was only yesterday though that you were doing Spring posts!

Oh Kathysue the time just flies as I get older and I would really likeit to slow down a bit now!!!xx

For the first time in this hot and humid summer I am wearing my robe on the veranda for my morning coffee............autumn is on it's way. I adore candles but unfortunately they don't like me so I am on the hunt for pure unscented ones that will make my home glow. Lovely post. XO

I can never have enough candles! Winter, Spring, Summer or Fall--candles everywhere! But, I agree, there is something about Fall that makes candles even more special. Along with a fire in the fireplace. The smell of burning wood reminds me of Fall. Ok, now you've put me in the mood. Is it Fall yet? Great post Kathysue! xo Delores

We have finally broken the string of 100 degree days so I am feeling a little bit more hopeful that fall is around the corner! I LOVE candles as you know and burn them just about 24/7! I also love them in my decor...all seasons!

I love all of your inspiration pics...I am almost ready to decorate for fall;)!

Hi Kathysue! I love these pics...but my fav...I bet you could guess...the assortment of hurricanes on that fabulous frenchy table!! I am so excited for you about your scones! Can't wait to see them installed! I hope you are having a great week!...hugs...Debbie

I may just have to light one now, make the house smell good. I love candles, but I also have a slight fear of going off and forgetting to blow one out. I think the candles on the stairway are gorgeous, but I also want to scream "danger, danger"!

I love the Hermes ribbon holding the twigs to the hurricane lantern!! The grouping of silver hurricanes was elegant and inspiring. I'm having our bookmarks festival authors and patrons dinner here, so thanks for the good ideas!

I adore the nice big unscented (must be unscented!) pillar candles.I just saw some adorable tealights, in cute, different shapes: took pictures of them but still have to post. Maybe I can tie in with your post next week!

Kathysue , I LOVE candlesI So much so I used to own a candle compnay! But, sold it 5 years ago. Funny! I was just telling my mom today I need to make candles this week . I am running out and need some fall scents. Have a pretty day! Kristin

I'm holding off thinking of fall until next week! Fall is my absolutely favorite time of the year, and I want to get mentally ready to enjoy it. When it arrives, I'll be just like you...creating ambiance with light and color and warmth. Pumpkin spice is my total favorite scent. Can't wait!

I was off for a couple of days and now trying to catch up! I am SO with you- I love candles in the evening and when Fall rolls around, I want the coziness.Try to stop by the blog- I really value your input and I'm looking for opinionsxoxo Pattie

What is it about candles? I love them in all seasons. I guess it's the ambience they create.Even in summer I love them on picnic tables and on the mantle in glass. But fall has a calling all it's own and the candles MUST be glowing.Thank you for the wonderful post.
